Create Menu with css and li elements compatible for all browsers.

Question

Hi all, I am trying to create a simple menu using li elements, but it only works on IE7, in FF and Chrome, the alignment get weird. Also the :hover and :Active only works on IE7.

Could anybody give me a hit on this?

I would really appreciate it.

CSS:

#heading{
    width: 700px;
   height:auto; 
    margin: 0 auto;
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
    margin-top:5px;
    margin-bottom:5px;
    display:block;
}
#imglogo{
 float:left;

}

#barDescription{
    float:right;

}



#navigation{
    text-align: right;
    margin-top: 70px;
}

#navigation li{
    float: right;
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
    list-style-type: none;  
}
#navigation li a{

    color:#A08019;
    background-image: url('Images/Menu1.png');
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    background-position: center center;
        text-decoration:none;   
        font-weight:bold;
    display: block;
    height:25px;
    vertical-align:middle;
        padding-right:10px;
        padding-left:10px;
}

navigation li a:hover{
    color:white;
    background-image: url('Images/Menu2.png');
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    background-position: center center;
    text-decoration:none;   
    font-weight:bolder;
    display: block;
    height:25px;
    vertical-align:middle;
    padding-right:10px;
    padding-left:10px;


}
navigation li a:active{
    color:#B39A48;
    background-image: url('Images/Menu2.png');
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    background-position: center center;
    text-decoration:none;   
    font-weight:bolder;
    display: block;
    height:25px;
    vertical-align:middle;
    padding-right:10px;
    padding-left:10px;


}

HTML:

<div id="heading" >
    <div id="imglogo">
        <img id="logo" src="Images/logo.png" alt="logo" />
    </div>
    <div id="barDescription">
       <h4>Especialidad en tapas,vinos y menus</h4>
       <h5>Restaurante de cocina creativa tradicional. Vinos y tapas</h5>
    </div>

    <ul id="navigation">
       <li><a href="#">Contacto</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Ubicacion</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Reservas</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Menus</a></li>
       <li><a href="#">Local</a></li>
    </ul>

    </div>

Answer 1

Suns of Suckerfish teaches how to get there. (Example.)

edit: Now that you posted the :active and :hover CSS, I can see you're missing a # in the beggining of the rule. So it is being applied to the "navigation" tags instead of the tags with "navigation" id. Change your CSS to add the # before "navigation":

#navigation li a:hover{
  /* ... */
}
#navigation li a:active{
  /* ... */
}
